2017 Gemini New Moon begins Fire Horse Month

GEMINI NEW MOON begins FIRE HORSE MONTH

May 25 2017 is a new Moon in Air sign Gemini. Bright and lively Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of ideas and communication. So this lunar month is time to put your ideas into action. Plus this new Moon begins the month of the Fire Horse. Fire Horse month in this Fire Phoenix (Rooster) year creates a great deal of Fire for passionate and creativity. Horse can bring victory, adventure, excitement, and surprising romance. Decisive action, not procrastination, leads to success.

Mars, also in Gemini, is opposite Saturn in Sagittarius that requires focus and perseverance. But Fire Horse could create confusion or run-away energy. Under the influence of strong and powerful Horse, there is no middle ground. By the end of this lunar month, you will know clearly what works and what does not.

Another theme this lunar month is that love planet Venus in Fire sign Aries is highly aspected. Venus conjuncts Uranus in Aries for new and different experiences in your relationships. But Venus squares Pluto in Capricorn for too much emotional intensity or a fight for dominance. Fortunately, Venus trines Saturn bringing honesty and stability to your interactions. And Venus is opposite Jupiter in Libra to enjoy the fine things in life with others.

Luck is strongest for Air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius and those born in Horse, Dog, Tiger, and Sheep years. Contact me for your tarot card reading, astrology forecast, or feng shui consultation for Fire Horse month.

Happy new Moon,

April 8 – April 14, 2013 The Week in Chinese Astrology

New Moon begins the month of the Fire Dragon

Highlights this week are a complex DOUBLE SNAKE day on Tuesday, a new Moon on Wednesday at 2:35 am PDT that starts the exciting month of the FIRE DRAGON, and transformation planet PLUTO goes retrograde on Friday.

Monday April 8 starts the week with a bang on a busy Wood Dragon day. The element Wood is active and growth oriented. But use the dynamic energy of this Dragon day to complete projects instead of initiating new endeavors because today and tomorrow are a balsamic (dark) Moon that ends this lunar cycle. Make plans for the new Moon on Wednesday that starts the month of the Fire Dragon, followed by the month of the Fire Snake in May. These will be the two most powerful months of this Snake year 2013. Luck is strongest for Dragon, Rat, Snake, and Monkey and during Dragon hours 7 am – 9 am.

Tuesday April 9 is a double Snake day; a Wood Snake day in a Water Snake year. This is harmonious because Water helps Wood (plants) to grow. Take care today and quietly finish as much work as you can before the new Moon tomorrow. The Moon blends with Uranus this morning for innovative but stay patient and steady like a Snake. Plus the Moon squares Pluto so do not argue with anyone; quietly observe like a wise Snake and simply go about your business. Tonight the Moon sextiles Jupiter for a lovely and relaxing evening. Luck is strongest for Snake, Ox, Monkey, and Rooster (Phoenix) and during Snake hours 9 am – 11 am.

Wednesday April 10 at 2:35 am PDT is a new Moon that begins the month of the Fire Dragon! No one can tell a Fire Dragon what to do. Fire Dragons might be impulsive and make mistakes, but then move right on to the next adventure. Under the influence of the Fire Dragon, time to take action and be a leader not a follower. This new Moon blends with the Sun, Venus, and Mars in a very fortunate pack to start new endeavors and pursue goals. You can be recharged for the month ahead with new energy and vitality, plus strength and power to focus. It’s fortunate to socialize, network, and expand your circle. Love and romance are lucky so be innovative and creative to take risks, even though a new love affair could fizzle fast. This new Moon is on a Fire Horse day to follow your gut instincts just like a real horse. Luck is strongest for the Horse, Tiger, Dragon, and Monkey and during Dragon hours 7 am – 9 am and Horse hours 11 am – 1 pm.

Thursday April 11 is a more peaceful Fire Sheep day when the Moon sextiles Neptune for creativity, art appreciation, and kindness to others. Now is a good day to set the tone for the lunar month with feng shui improvements or to add beauty with fresh flowers or bright colors. The Moon is opposite Saturn and trines Pluto so more serious and sensitive. Just lighten up on this pleasant Sheep day and take a break from your worries. Luck is strongest for Sheep, Rabbit, Horse, and Pig and during Sheep hours 1 pm – 3 pm.

Friday April 12 is an Earth Monkey day that brings luck and good fortune because Monkey and Dragon are best friends, and this is a Dragon month. Plus the Earth Monkey, the Gold Monkey, has Monkey ingenuity coupled with the practical qualities of the element Earth. Today the planet of transformation Pluto goes retrograde today until September 21, two days before autumn equinox. Pluto retrograde will add depth and gravity to all actions and encounters. This is ideal in a deep Water Snake year, the time to heal, shed your skin, and rebuild. But Pluto retrograde could be frustrating if projects take longer than anticipated to get to the bottom of things, not shallow or just on the surface. Luck is strongest for Monkey, Rat, Dragon, and Snake and during Monkey hours 3 pm – 5 pm.

Saturday April 13 is an Earth Rooster (gold Phoenix) day for energy to start your weekend and get a lot done, including home improvement. All Rooster days can fortunate in this Snake year because Rooster and Snake are best friends. But today is especially fortunate for communication, travel, or a quick getaway because the Moon sextiles Mercury. Good to make lists and find satisfaction as you check off your accomplishments. But stay focused and not too dreamy because the Moon squares Neptune so it’s best not to wing it! Luck is strongest for Rooster, Ox, Dragon, and Snake and during Rooster hours 5 pm – 7 pm.

Sunday April 14 is a fierce Metal Dog day, and Dog is opposite Dragon. Dragon can be a dreamer whereas Dog is far more realistic. Fortunately the Moon sextiles Uranus to shake things up and bring excitement but in a good way for new experiences. Adding to the good fortune is the Moon blending with Jupiter for a party, celebration, good times — or just supportive feelings and generosity in general instead of a Dog crusade for the truth. Luck is strongest for the Dog, Rabbit, Tiger, and Horse and during Dog hours 7 pm – 9 pm.

Have a great week!

Love,

Susan

GEMINI NEW MOON + FIRE HORSE MONTH and SUMMER SOLSTICE

Happy Summer Solstice!

NEW MOON IN GEMINI

Tuesday June 19 is a new Moon in the lively, mercurial Air sign Gemini. Sun, Moon, and Venus are all in Gemini, making this an ideal time for lively social gatherings and creative adventures. Short travels and trips are fortunate during this lunar cycle, especially before Mercury goes retrograde from July 14 – August 7. Good to network, make connections, and share ideas with close friends and family members. Under Gemini’s influence, everyone wants to chat and everyone has lots to say.

It’s easy to be inspired by Gemini’s fast energy, but equally as easy to become overwhelmed during this lunar cycle. Know that you can call me at 415.642.8019 or send an email for tarot and astrology guidance. If the pace of life seems intense this Dragon year summer, hold onto your saddle because…

FIRE HORSE MONTH 

This new Moon starts the month of the Fire Horse. Fire qualities are expressiveness, leadership, and willpower. Horse qualities are strength, independence, and love of adventure. So events occur more quickly during this Fire Horse month. Lucky breaks can lead to fast success – or quick chaos. 

SUMMER SOLSTICE 

June 20 is Summer Solstice, the longest day and the beginning of summer. The powers of nature are at their peak. Tonight, bathe with midsummer herbs of lavender, chamomile, and vervain. Feast on fresh fruits and give thanks for the abundance of Mother Earth in her fullness. Let the fiery Sun burn away all that is unwanted, all that is no longer useful. Time to really take care of yourself so you can then take care of others. Don’t get burnt out during this Fire Horse month. Luck is strongest for the Air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius and those born in Horse, Dog, and Tiger years.

Happy new Moon,

Susan
